TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Rahul Gandhi today visited late Congress stalwart Sheila Dikshit’s residence. Gandhi, who returned from abroad on Wednesday, was unable to attend the funeral of the former Delhi Chief Minister, who breathed her last on July 20.
The three-time chief minister passed away following a cardiac arrest. Rahul’s mother Sonia Gandhi, sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and brother-in-law Robert Vadra were among those who attended Dikshit’s funeral at the Nigambodh Ghat in Delhi.
However,
Rahul was among the early ones to condole Dikshit’s demise. Calling her the
Congress’ beloved daughter, Rahul had tweeted, “I’m devastated to hear
about the passing away of Sheila Dikshitji, a beloved daughter of the Congress
Party, with whom I shared a close personal bond. My condolences to her family
and the citizens of Delhi, whom she served selflessly as a three-term Chief
Minister, in this time of great grief.”
